Media Management
Media Management Overview
The StorCenter ix2-dl has a built-in media server that, when turned on, scans for media content in
specific Shares that have media sharing enabled. Any media content contained in these specific
Shares are accessible to any user on your network with a media player, even if the Share is secured.
For information on enabling a folder as a media folder, refer to Managing Shares.
Scanning for media content
The Media Server automatically scans for media content on a regular basis. However, you can click
Scan now at any time to force the media server to perform an immediate scan for media content.
This is especially useful after you have created new folders with media sharing enabled and copied a
large amount of media content to them.
